D G I was a walkin talkin somethin to prove didn't care about nothin at all,D D/C# D/B D/A G A D Reelin in the streets throwin bottles at the wall,D G We played rockabilly music til all hours of the night,D D/C# D/B D/A G A D We'd wind up in the parkin lot in some great big fight,G D G D When there weren't no money in it and everything was new,G D A We'd drive across the country lookin for somethin to do,D G And you couldn't tell us nothin. We had it all figured out for sure,D D/C# D/B D/A G A D And the older cats would shake their heads. They'd seen our kind before, [Chorus]D G D But it was good times hard livin back then,D A I wonder could I do those things again,D G D G And never give a second thought to if it was a sin,D A D Good times hard livin back then, [Verse]D G I was a walkin talkin somethin to prove just playin rock and roll,D D/C# D/B D/A G A D Lovin every minute spinnin out of control,D G Ridin on that midnight rail tryin to have too much fun,D D/C# D/B D/A G A D Probably should've gone to jail for some of the things we done,G D G D We'd turn on ZZ Top and roll on to another town,G D A We wore that sucker out til the whole thing come unwound,D G And you couldn't tell us nothin we had it all figured out for sure,D D/C# D/B D/A G A D But some people that I knew back then won't talk to me no more, [Chorus]D G D But it was good times hard livin back then,D A I wonder could I do those things again,D G D G And never give a second thought to if it was a sin,D A D Good times hard livin back then, [Verse]D G I'm a walkin talkin somethin to prove but I'm tryin not to fall,D D/C# D/B D/A G A D Cause some funerals I've been to played like writing on the wall,D G And now it seems I've come full circle still tryin to make a stand,D D/C# D/B D/A G A D Ridin five up in a pick up truck playin in a honkytonk band,G D G D And though the words may be different it's still the same old song,G D A Figure out where you wanna be and make it up as you go along,D G And you still can't tell us nothin we've got it all figured out fo sure.D D/C# D/B D/A G A D Shakin our heads at each other we've been down this road before, [Chorus]D G D But it was good times hard livin back then,D A I wonder could I do those things again,D G D G And never give a second thought to if it was a sin,D A D Good times hard livin back then, [Refrain]D G I'm a walkin talkin somethin to prove but I'm tryin not to fall,D D/C# D/B D/A G A D And if I think about it now and then ain't too much changed at all
